Struggleful is an Indian English adjective meaning full of hardship, difficulty, or challenge — describing a life, period, or situation that demands constant effort just to get through. It's a vivid compound that does what English sometimes fails to do with a single word: capture the ongoing, exhausting quality of a tough situation. Popular in Indian English social media and personal narratives, it shows up in heartfelt posts about grinding through tough circumstances without giving up.
After three months of job hunting with no callbacks, she admitted it had been the most struggleful period of her life.
